Chapter 120: Birthday Ceremony
Although I don't know the real reason for this, Princess Wei's affection for her is not fake.
The two talked to themselves in Songtao Garden for a while, and Chu Lian saw that the time was almost up, so he took the county lord of Duanjia to the Qinghui Hall to congratulate the old lady.
As soon as I arrived at the 'door' of Qingyun Hall, I heard the voice of a warbler and a swallow inside.
Lord Duanjia glanced inside curiously, pulled Chulian's sleeve and asked, "There seem to be many young girls inside." ”
Chu Lian's eyes were sly, he covered his mouth and smiled, "County Lord, didn't you see the second brother today? Grandmother is afraid that she is taking this opportunity to give him a girl!"
Yes?
He Changjue wants to be a girl?
I don't know why, the county lord of Duanjia didn't feel very happy when he heard the news.
Chu Lian thought that the county lord of Duanjia didn't know the reason, so he explained it to her. "County Lord, you don't know, the second brother doesn't go home easily on weekdays, even if his grandmother takes him, he can't help it, but as the concubine of Jing'an Bofu, he can't always be unmarried, so he took advantage of his mother's birthday to call several good families to bring their 'daughters' over. ”
He Changjue is now twenty-four years old, and those who are not married at such an age are already considered to be older leftover men in Shengjing City.
Only Jing'an Bo Mansion has a high reputation, and the 'door' is also upper-class, and He Changjue is already on an errand in Longwei, and there is nothing to say about his character and appearance, even if he is a little older, there are many ladies of the family staring at him.
So there are actually quite a few Mrs. Boudoir ladies who came today.
Later, when I was waiting to congratulate Mrs. Jing Anbo on her birthday, let these delicate noble 'girls' meet He Erlang.
The county lord of Duanjia had also heard about the second child of the He family for a long time, but at that time, the two had never seen each other after all, and when they heard such a strange thing, they would listen to it as a joke.
Is He Erlang really going to choose a wife?
Chu Lian pulled the Duanjia County Lord into the courtyard and headed towards the greenhouse.
Chu Lian was originally destined to marry into Jing'anbo Mansion because of the "strange" reputation of the girl in the British Mansion, and later made a splash in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and then was named the Jinyi Township Monarch by the Holy Lord, and now he has a family in his hand to return to the forest house.
These things were originally talked about for a long time, but now they all happened to one person, and one after another, this group of noble 'women' and noble 'women' who surrounded Old Taijun He had long wanted to see this Jinyi townsman who seemed to be hanging after marriage.
This girl used to be an insignificant boudoir lady in a third-rate family, how could this become a dazzling light source in a blink of an eye, and it couldn't be ignored.
When Chu Lian and Duanjia County Lord appeared in the warm pavilion, everyone's eyes fell on the two of them.
Chu Lian and Duanjia County Lord's body shapes are very similar, but their clothes and ornaments are different, but the two little faces are the same pure and beautiful, if it weren't for the difference in their hair buns and clothes, this group of people really couldn't tell who was Duanjia County Lord and who was the third 'milk' and 'milk' of Jing'anbo Mansion.
Seeing Chu Lian, who was wearing a long dress with a silver pink embroidered Fushou pattern, everyone was slightly surprised.
No one had ever thought that Jinyi Xiangjun, who had evolved into nine heads and six arms in their hearts, turned out to be like this.
Look at the immature face with some baby 'fat', and the face 'fine' is white and tender, as if it can make people pinch out water. There is only a little bit of ****** rouge on the pink 'lips' petals, and the corners of the mouth are naturally slightly raised, even the most ordinary expressions seem to be smiling at people, and the most surprising thing is the pair of apricot eyes.
The water is so clear that it seems to be able to reflect everything clearly.
There are elderly ladies to support their foreheads, and some can't accept the huge gap with expectations, which is ...... This Jinyi Xiangjun, who is rumored to be so powerful, is just a delicate and cute little girl!
After Chu Lian saluted, she was puzzled, she tilted her head, and the corners of her eyes twitched, how could she think that the ladies and ladies around her looked at her strangely.
The identity of the county lord of Duanjia is not like the ordinary county lord in Beijing, and now that Chu Lian is by her side, these noble 'women' and noble 'women' who came to participate in the birthday banquet naturally rushed to find Chu Lian and talk to the county lord of Duanjia.
In addition, Chu Lian's small courtyard leased to the rich people by the special 'door' behind the forest residence, many people who have a 'desire' have to ask about the reservation of the small courtyard, hoping to take this opportunity to let Chu Lian sell a favor.
Nowadays, whether it is a 'female' or a male guest in the upper circle of Shengjing, as long as you can invite a meal to the banquet of Lin Ju, it is a matter that is even longer than inviting guests in the Red Mansion.
The ladies and ladies all gathered around the two, and the center of the topic was faintly biased towards them, which distorted the 'color' of the Zou family, who was originally held by everyone.
He Lao Taijun is happy, Wei Wangfu does not participate in court politics, and he is the brother of the saint, and now the Duanjia county lord and his third granddaughter-in-law are 'friendly', which also means that Jing'anbo Mansion and Wei Wangfu are 'friendly', which is a great thing.
San Lang's daughter-in-law looks like a lazy woman, but she always does things that suit her heart.
So when I saw a room of people surrounding the two young girls, I didn't stop the old lady.
The Zou family wanted to draw everyone's attention back, but they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Old Taijun He, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it at this time, but the eyes that slightly coveted Chu Lian were filled with jealousy and disgust.
However, this situation did not last long, and Mrs. He saw that the hour was almost up, so she took everyone to Mrs. Jing Anbo's courtyard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the prince He Changqi and Erlang He Changjue.
Everyone knew it in their hearts, and when they entered the 'flower' hall, the eyes of all the ladies and noble 'women' swept in the direction of the two of them.
The county lord of Duanjia walked beside Chu Lian, and glanced slightly in the direction of He Erlang, but saw that this big man hung his head slightly, and he didn't even raise his eyes, like a statue.
The Duanjia County Lord's eyes brought a trace of satisfaction that he hadn't even noticed.
Mrs. Jing Anbo had changed into a festive crimson 'color' dress, which was covered with a red fox 'hair'. She wore a turquoise forehead on her head and applied a slight powder, which made her sickness go away by seven points, and the thick skirt in winter covered her emaciation. At first glance, it is no different from a healthy noblewoman.
The ladies and ladies who participated in the birthday banquet came up one by one to congratulate Mrs. Jing Anbo on her birthday and send congratulatory gifts.
Knowing that Mrs. Jing Anbo's body will not last long, everyone is a familiar family, everyone is very interesting, and the steps of celebrating her birthday are very fast.
In the end, it will be the turn of the two daughters-in-law in the family to celebrate their birthdays.
The sister-in-law Zou took out a hundred-year-old ginseng, which surprised everyone.
Mrs. Jing Anbo took Zou's hand and patted it, "Let the eldest daughter-in-law 'wife' break the bank!"
"Mother, as long as you are in good health, not to mention just a ginseng, even if you let your daughter-in-law eat fasting and pray Buddha in the Buddha hall for three months. ”
Mrs. Jing Anbo smiled, and wondered how she could spoil her body.
The noble 'women' sitting next to the old lady and Mrs. Jing Anbo praised the Zou family for their filial piety.
Zou lowered her head slightly, looking embarrassed, but in fact, she was more comfortable than anyone else.
This hundred-year-old ginseng did 'cost' her a few hundred taels of silver, and she was still a little distressed, but now she has seen that she has grown face in front of everyone, so she feels that this money is worth 'spending'.
Zou was proud in his heart, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Chu Lian, and there was a faint hint of provocation and schadenfreude in that gaze.
With her ginseng at the beginning, if Chu Lian took out something too poor and sour, she would completely lose face, she wanted to see how this third brother and sister, who "boasted of being smart" on weekdays, would deal with it.
Chu Lian was talking to the Duanjia County Lord beside him in a low voice, and he didn't pay attention to the resentful eyes of his sister-in-law Zou at all.
Seeing that it was her turn, she took the brocade box held by Wen Qing behind her and presented it to Mrs. Jing Anbo.
"Mother, this set of heads is a congratulatory gift from the daughter-in-law, and I hope my mother can like it. ”
Jewelry head?
Ha?
It seems that her three siblings are not as smart as she imagined.
Mrs. Jing Anbo didn't have any other expressions on her face, she accepted Chu Lian's congratulatory gift with a smile, and said kindly: "San Lang's daughter-in-law, I also bothered you!"
Chu Lian was already young, if it weren't for Mrs. He wanting to hold her grandson, maybe she would have to stay at home for two years at her age!
Later, when he entered the 'door', He Saburo had a strange attitude, and he didn't stay at home for a few days after the wedding, so he ran to the north quietly. Her little daughter-in-law not only did not cry or make trouble, but was kind and coquettish, and she did not resent Jing'anbo Mansion and was estranged from her family because of this.
Mrs. Jing Anbo was already guilty, and seeing that she was young, she was naturally more tolerant of Chu Lian.
It doesn't matter what the congratulatory gift is, it's enough to have this heart.
Chu Lian didn't want to be in the limelight, and when he was about to turn around and retreat to his seat, Zou Shi hurriedly made a 'look' at a young 'woman' beside him.
The noble 'woman' stepped forward and said with a smile: "I really don't know what kind of jewelry Jinyi Xiangjun is giving, it won't be a reward from the palace, if Mrs. Jing Anbo doesn't mind, I don't know if you can open your eyes to all of us?"
Sure enough, when it came to the head of the jewelry, these noble 'women' and young ladies were interested, and some people stretched out their heads, and they all coaxed to see the congratulatory gifts given by Chu Lian.
Mrs. Jing Anbo didn't want to open it on the spot, she also thought in her heart that the things given by this little daughter-in-law were ordinary, and she was hesitating, and Zou added a fire with a roll of her eyes.
"Mother, the third brother and sister are also filial piety, don't you want the big guys to take a look?"
Mrs. Jing Anbo was a little unable to get off the stage, glanced apologetically at Chu Lian's side, and then asked the maid next to her to open the jewelry box given by Chu Lian.
The county lord of Duanjia looked down on a small family like Zou the most, and rolled his eyes at her without giving face on the spot.
Zou turned his head and happened to meet the eyes of the Duanjia County Lord, and suddenly his face was red and white, and he was almost 'pumped' by anger.
